We have the need to transfer textual information off of 8 inch
diskettes written by an IBM Displaywriter  word processor.
This WP has no modem or tape drive which we can use and the format
of the diskettes is unknown to us. Does anyone have any suggestions
on where we can go to get these diskettes converted to a more portable format?

We can read Macintosh 3.5 inch and IBM PC 5.25 inch diskettes and standard
9 track tape. We have sufficent modem capacity to suck it on down a phone line.
We also have a xerox 860 word processor that has 8 inch diskette drives
but we don't think they are compatible with IBM's.....

Knowing the actual format of the diskette - TPI/density single sided/dual sided
might help as well.
The company that owns this beast knows nothing about it other than
how to push the buttons to get it to Word Process"" for them, so they
are no help at all.  Does anyone out there have one of these things
who could help us out with a little info?

Thanks in Advance......
